Ingredients

100g walnut halves

4 tsp clear honey

1/4 tsp salt

1 tbsp caster sugar

6 fresh figs

200g Asda Gorgonzola

78g pack rocket, washed

3 tbsp Spanish olive oil

1 tbsp sherry vinegar

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 200C/180 Fan/Gas 6. Toss the nuts with the honey, salt and sugar until they’re coated all over. Put on a non-stick baking tray, keeping the nuts separate from each other. Cook in the oven for 3 minutes, then transfer to a piece of non-stick baking paper and allow to cool.
2
Trim and quarter the figs. Crumble the cheese into small pieces and divide between four plates, along with the figs, rocket and roasted nuts.
3
Whisk the Spanish olive oil and sherry vinegar together in a small bowl and season. Drizzle over the figs and serve immediately.
